    Social security is not a retirement plan, it's a fall-back. It doesn't make sense for you to invest it yourself.

    It may have started that way, but tell that to the millions of Americans who's only source of retirement IS Social Security.

    What gets me about these age based fees is that Oct 1, you're 24 and charged 50 bucks. Oct. 2, you're 25 and suddenly a much better driver?!?!?

  8. Re:syndication on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVD Details Announced · · Score: 1

    It doesn't stop it from being on DVD per se. I was using sysdication as an example of a show still being on the air, thus you can still watch it, record it whatever, so putting it on DVD is low priority. Northern Exposure and Picket Fences, as far as I know are not in syndication ( well NX is sorta on the Hallmark channel but all cut up) and thus I can't watch it on TV. I have almost all the NX episodes taped and some day will convert them to VCD, but I'd prefer to have a DVD of them, and I would pay for a DVD set.

    No.
    Seinfeld is a) in syndication. b) really not that good. Maybe in 10 years I'll appreciate it more liek I do NX and Picket Fences but for now it's just not up there.

    Not sure why you were modded as flamebait.

    I liked Picket Fences as well. I see so many crappy shows get DVD's yet the good quality shows are not even on syndication runs.

    I really should remove that link, I rarely if ever give out the url or even use that resume anymore, if you'd even call it a resume.

    Did you look at the links? That is basically what I send to employers these days. Although it's been changed a lot too ( That one was done by a 'profressional', this guy also claims that the market is 'softening' up.)

    I have Open Source Development experience, yes, but it's not helping, at least around here. I have real development experience, I was in both the implememtation phase of developing and also in the bug-squashing end as well. Of course I blame my resume/lack of skills/whatever for why I can't get hired.

    All wage comparisons I make are based on just me beign the the only person in the family, so I stand by the 50k is rich statement.

    Oh well, time to get back to my Java.

  20. Re:Everyone's busy on Fewer Employees + Same Work = Higher Productivity · · Score: 1

    The company I was laid off from a year ago had an employee ( who survived the layoff, go figure) who worked from 8AM to 9 or 10PM every day, doing what I thought should be a 3 hour job (he was check-out guy for the developers, so if no developers are in the office he had no work to do). Before this gig he was a developer who screwed crap up A LOT ( fortunately I never had to work with his stuff), hell he was even on suspension TWICE. Of course he never had a raise and that is what probably saved him from being laid off.

    I don't think anyone in the IT field is worth their salary. What's the average pay now? $70K? Go look at how much post-doctorate researchers make, and you tell me how a $70K salary is justified. Not that I'm complaining, just disagreeing. I've been in the industry before the .com bubble, when a $55K position was really good.

    55k was good? Hell when I was laid off a year ago I was making just over 30k a year as a software engineer 2, at a major company. My goal one day was to make 35k a year. I'd seriously consider myself ultra-rich if I made 55k a year. With 70k, man I can't even fathom what that feels like.

    Of course consolidating DSS services into One is bad, but consolidating cable internet into One is okay.

    Makes no sense to me. If the FCC wants to block monopolies, fine, just do it consistenly.
